Stroke, Followed by Heart Attack

Exactly one year after my uncle’s stroke, he had a heart attack. He’s not even fully recovered from his stroke yet! I’m so glad I’ll at least get to visit Toronto soon.
His triple/quadruple bipass surgery is scheduled election day. I’ll be in TO by wed. So I’ll be able to see him.
Today at work wasn’t so good either, I was so moody cuz of everything, and so little sleep. I made a big moody fool of myself. Why do I have such a hard time keeping my emotions to myself? I need solutions, my life is such an open book and I’m so crazy lately. Maybe its my pills. Or that and lack of sleep/food makes a bad mix.
My uncle sent me a message saying basically,
“You and I have talked about how I’m the glue that holds my family together.” He is very cheerful and my aunt is mentally ill. “Lately her visits have been stressful and I feel like I’m comforting her instead of getting better. I need to ask you a huge favour if you feel comfortable, and if you feel its appropriate, can you please call/email her and ur cousin to give them support.”
Of course I will. This is about him getting better. Anything I can do to help I will. Not to mention I feel less helpless here in Ottawa knowing there’s something I can actually do to help.
Its amazing how unsupportive other family members can be. You’d think my dad would help… God forbid he leave his sports safety bubble and visit the real world for a day.
